Hello, I'm new here. Basically I have this practice excercise for my exam.:

My general problem is that I'm bad with separating forces into components, and I assume this excercise deals with that. Can someone please point me in the right direction to solving this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
A steel ball of mass 4.30 kg is suspended from two strings as shown in the picture. The upper string is at an angle of theta = 27.0° from the vertical, while the lower string is horizontal. Calculate the magnitude of T2, the tension in the lower string.
